I am so confused. I have a complex web page that basically has 3 tabs and each tab has a datagid on it. In my opinion the row edit template is the cleanest way of entering in data. My users want to type and go method. They don't need the UI row edit to come up. So now I am looking into adding/editing the row at the row level on the grid. I am working on the add portion of it. I have cells that are date and require a drop down. How can I get them to appear in the add row? For the date, all I get is a masked text box. No drop down calendar. The cells that need to be a drop down are just text boxes.
Can someone point me in the direction of a good example?
Hello Abby,
Thank you for your patience.
The WebDataGrid currently supports only cell by cell editing and the UI Row Editing Template form, which allows the user to modify one or more data elements in the current row. If you want to enter the whole row in edit mode, then I would suggest you to consider using the jQuery igGrid control, which provides the ability to edit row values. Here you can find some useful samples about igGrid features: http://ko.infragistics.com/products/jquery/sample/grid/all-features-enabled
About using drop down while adding row, you first need to add DropDownProvider to the grid following these steps: http://ko.infragistics.com/help/topic/e4740037-316e-4b59-9b55-8ab82ae20951 and then enable Row Adding behavior and set for the ColumnSettings the ColumnKey which should correspond to the key of the column and EditorID which should correspond to the id of the editor. For your reference is attached a sample that demonstrates RowAdding with drop down editor provider. Please let me know if you need any further assistance.
Sincerely,
Tsanna
I thought JQuery igGrid (IgniteUI) is more for MVC? I am not doing MVC. Its just asp.net. So using that would not be helpful. I will look at your example and let you know.
Thanks
If you need any additional assistance with this matter, feel free to contact me.
Thank you for choosing Infragistics components.
Since the ASP WebDataGrid doesn't support other type of editing than cell by cell and Row Editing Template form, I've suggested you to use the jquery igGrid control that provides the described functionality. However you can suggest this as a new product idea for future versions at http://ideas.infragistics.com.
Steps to create your idea:
The Product Idea site puts you in the driver’s seat and allows you to track the progress of your ideas at any time, see how many votes it got, read comments from other developers in the community, and see if someone from the product team has additional questions for you.
Please let me know when you have a chance to look at the sample that I've attached you previous time. Looking forward to hearing from you.
